Matthieu Jalibert “very happy to join the French team”

The discussions with the coach and his assistant in charge of the attack were frank. “We have always exchanged quite freely, asked Jalibert. With Fabien (Galthié), we had an exchange in recent weeks. I had things to say to him, I think he heard them, accepted them. He told me that he was counting on me and that he needed players with potential. I told him that I always considered myself a player for the France team and that if he selected me, I would honor the selection with great pleasure, because the France team is the ultimate goal. Sometimes there are ups, sometimes there are downs. We are old enough to say things to each other. We both know what we're thinking, I hope we can start with something cool again. »
